Great to know - thanks!

Does it cover the full environment? As in, can you safely roam the towns/houses/countryside exploring and then the guide kicks in for specific features (pyramids, etc)? I watched some videos but it was hard to tell how hand-holdy it was versus broad exploration.

Found the game second hand and wondered about getting it for my son to explore, but he's 9yo and the full game sounds a bit inappropriate (language, brothel, violence probably a bit gratuitous - we play Halo where the violence is a bit less realistic).

More info here:

You can explore all of it I think, haven't played it in a while. There are also tours of specific areas as well, like the Pyramids.

FYI if you don't want your son to play the base game due to violence, you can buy the discovery tour versions of Egpyt, Greece, Vikings separately as stnadalone, which only contain the tours and not the stabbing and killing gameplay.

Very useful. I'll investigate. Thanks!
